It's a shame the city can't get their head out of their ass and do something like this for Anderson, Westbrook, Chinook or Brentwood.

Not just Calgary falling more into line with the rest of Canada, but Canada falling in line with the rest of the world. The vast majority of the world rents and lives in multifamily. Calgarians and Canadians have been spoiled when it comes to owning SFHs, but that's not the way of the future.

Everything written by him is a joke. A sign that the two outlets who publish his stuff (The Herald and CBC) have checked out, and are too lazy to find writers that have an interesting and relevant take. Of course their market is people in the 60-80 year old range who don't like change. Does...

I don't find this very ugly. It's busy for my tastes, but not what I would call ugly. This is ugly.

It's not very good, but I don't find it terrible. To me terrible, is something like the Venetian or the original Mission Station rendering.

Went by there this morning, and still lots of action and plenty of workers on site. There was something happening on the north side of the parcel, like they had already drilled in some piles and filled with concrete maybe? No drilling rig on site though.

Any signs of a 4th tower goiing?

All the inner city ‘destination’ hoods seem to have two or three projects going at any given time. I’m enjoying this battle between all the different neighbourhoods 😁

It's hotter in Perth than it is in Calgary, but I think you might be remembering the weather as hotter than it was. Almost all of the year the evenings cool down decently.

Heck even 8 to 16 stories would be nice 😀

Is Currie a high-rise project? I seem to remember a high-rise project with Embassy Bosa.

That thing's been under construction for like 4 or 5 years.

It does indeed, but I like it.

There’s also a fire station above a building on 1st street SE, near 7th ave.

Agreed. The conveyor walkway would be good for people who can walk but find it a bit of a struggle, or even for regular people with no ailments, but you gotta believe that people with canes and walkers would try to use it.

I know sometimes we gripe about the slow progress on the east side of downtown, but looking through these pictures really shows that it has progressed a lot. Of all the neighbourhoods in Calgary East Village is the one that has progressed the most in the last five years.

Imagine if they left it green like that, it would stick out in every skyline photo lol.

I think you’re correct. I don’t remember which day it was but I drove past there and there and there was a pick up truck and a yellow vest dude on the site. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to see what was going on.

So far I’m not a big fan of this overall design, but I would like to see better renderings to get a better idea. The two main reasons I don’t like this proposal are 1) The changes to existing heritage buildings and the older buildings on seventh Avenue. 2) I don’t like the phasing portion. I...

What do you guys think about Carpenter?
